LPT: before buying something, wait.
It sounds obvious until it isn't lol. Somehow a lot of people still need to hear this.
Impulse buying is a thing, ya know . . .

If it is expensive, I would recommend waiting days if not weeks before deciding it is necessary,
I waited a few weeks, still purchased even though it was unnecessary.
What if thr feeling doesn't go away until you buy?

I swear this tip is gonna be reposted 20 times a month
“Sleep on it”. Gotcha
And half the time if you are buying online, leave the item in your shopping cart and you'll get a coupon emailed
Guess what?! I buy stuff I don't need a month after I wait all the time. So you're wrong haha. Haha🥲😭 some one tell me how to stop please ADHD wrecking my ass🥺
Yeah, I waited and someone else bought it...
But I want my beer now. And I'm working tomorrow, you see
This works for me lol, whenever I’d have the urge to buy a ‘want’ instead of s necessity, I wait over a week and see if I still have the same urge to purchase it. If yes, add to cart, if no, forget about it. Lol
But then I don't get the joy of opening things I forgot I ordered
One day shipping sucks, it encourages impulse buying. I try to make online purchases once a month or less. There's a ton of times when I remove something in my online cart because I reconsidered needing it
I’ve missed out on many a great deal by waiting, either the item sells out or the sale ends.
